Two sources report a February 28 start to US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran that allegedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, prompted Iranian retaliation and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and led to a fragile April ceasefire. These accounts remain uncorroborated by other outlets and conflict with observable reality. Iran's continued support for Hezbollah and demands regarding Lebanon are also cited but tied to the same unverified timeline.
